Genshin Impact: Starting from Liyue to Build Infrastructure

When Hu Tao saw that Takumi was back, she immediately said:

"I'm going back."

"Klee is your responsibility now. I'll come to play another day."

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Takumi was slightly surprised, while Klee looked a bit disappointed.

"Sister Hu Tao is leaving?"

"I thought Sister Hu Tao was going to stay."

Hu Tao rolled her eyes dramatically.

She needed to stay calm.

Klee was too dangerous.

She said she wanted to fry fish, but in reality?

She just grabbed some explosives and bombarded the water indiscriminately.

Hu Tao was completely shocked.

This girl was like a walking disaster.

The louder the explosion, the more excited she became.

Going out with Klee had been nerve-wracking.

Hu Tao had been constantly on edge, afraid that Klee might suddenly aim a bomb at her.

That would be a one-way trip to the afterlife.

Absolutely terrifying.

While Hu Tao often joked about sending people away, she had no desire to be sent away herself.

Now that Takumi was back, she had no reason to stay.

Klee was his problem now.

And to make matters worse, the bombs Klee had been playing with were made by Takumi?

That meant he was just as dangerous.

How did she not realize that Takumi was also a threat?

Terrifying!

"Alright."

"Then be careful on your way back."

Takumi heard Hu Tao's decision to leave and didn't stop her.

She was used to traveling at night.

Now that the roads to Liyue Harbor had been repaired, there would be no issues.

After saying her goodbyes, Hu Tao immediately ran off.

Seeing this, Klee looked up at Takumi with a bit of sadness.

"Brother Takumi, does Sister Hu Tao hate Klee?"

"Why did she run away without looking back?"

She thought Hu Tao disliked her.

Hearing that, Takumi chuckled.

"Hu Tao has to go back to work."

"Her job is mostly done at night."

"Don't overthink it, Klee."

"Hu Tao doesn't hate you."

Hearing Takumi's reassurance, Klee's spirits immediately lifted.

"Sister Hu Tao doesn't hate Klee?"

"That's great!"

"I really thought she didn't like me!"

Klee cheered up instantly.

Takumi looked at the little girl in amusement.

Another day, he should invite Qiqi over.

Yes, the Teyvat Big Five should all be present.

Klee, Qiqi, Diona, Yaoyao, and Sayu.

Having all five of them together would be quite the sight.

Takumi wasn't a lolicon—he just enjoyed their company.

...

As the day's work came to an end, there was no need for overtime at night.

The construction workers also gathered for dinner.

After a long day, having a hearty meal as the sun set was one of life's simple pleasures.

As Takumi, Keqing, and others dined at Wangshu Inn, the alchemists sent by Ningguang arrived.

Upon receiving the news from the Qianyan Army, Takumi quickly arranged accommodations for them.

They would stay at Wangshu Inn.

At this point, Wangshu Inn was no longer open to the public.

It still served meals, but all the rooms were reserved for Takumi's team.

Not just anyone could stay there.

Only Takumi, Keqing, and Klee lived there.

Some high-ranking Qianyan Army officers also had rooms, while others resided in temporary housing.

Naturally, the alchemists couldn't be sent to temporary lodging.

So, Takumi arranged for them to stay at Wangshu Inn.

"We'll start work tomorrow."

"For now, get some rest."

Takumi left them with that instruction and didn't linger.

He wanted them well-rested before diving into work.

The alchemists had no objections.

Although they had been summoned suddenly, they were curious to see what this mysterious Mr. Takumi wanted them to do.

After all, Ningguang had nearly emptied the entire alchemy department for this task.

Only a few remained behind to maintain daily operations.

The fact that so many had been sent showed how important this project was.

...

The next day, Takumi gathered the alchemists.

Then, he assigned tasks.

"There's a lot of work to do."

"Look here."

Takumi pointed to the blackboard behind him.

The alchemists had already noticed it.

Now, hearing Takumi's words, they focused intently.

"This is a new mode of transportation."

"You're all familiar with Ruin Guards, correct?"

"You should understand how they move."

"Chaos Devices, Chaos Furnaces—you all know them."

"What I need you to do is study those components and put them to use."

"Then, construct the vehicle design on this board."

Hearing this, the alchemists exchanged glances.

One of them hesitantly spoke up.

"Mr. Takumi, we have studied Chaos Devices and Chaos Mechanisms extensively."

"But we still haven't fully unlocked their secrets."

"If you're asking us to replicate them, it's impossible."

Before they even started, they were already discouraged.

Use them?

Of course, they wanted to.

But after years of study, they still hadn't unraveled their mysteries.

Their expertise was limited—this task was beyond them.

Hearing this, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

Just then, a Qianyan Army soldier entered.

"Mr. Takumi, a man named Albedo is here to see you."

Hearing this, Takumi's face lit up.

"Let him in immediately."

"Perfect timing—the person who can solve this is here."

Takumi was delighted.

He hadn't expected Albedo to arrive so quickly.

Did he travel overnight?

It seemed there must be a special connection between Sucrose and Albedo.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived this fast.

The gathered alchemists grew even more curious.

Was this famed alchemist finally here?

Not long after, the man in question stepped inside.

"Mr. Albedo, I've long admired your work."

"You arrived at the perfect time."

"Please, take a seat. Let's get straight to the point."

"I asked Sucrose to invite you here because I need your expertise."

As soon as he entered, Albedo heard Takumi's words.

Hearing this, he was puzzled.

Looking around the room, he realized it was full of alchemists.

What exactly did Takumi need from him?

His curiosity was piqued.

Meanwhile, Klee and Sucrose, having heard that Albedo had arrived, quickly ran over.
